Like many others say, It does look EXACTLY like the images, and is a very firm seat.  I'm hoping the cushions will soften over time. UPDATE:
Do not buy this couch if you want to use it.  This is a great piece for a waiting room, or for show.  I was gone for a few weeks and the cushions are still all lumpy and misshapen. I didn't even notice how half the seams are split open until last night.  That was the last straw..  Returning ASAP
